Zhaojue Temple Vegetarian - Chengdu

This self-service restaurant is located in a temple. There is a 2 yuan entry fee for the temple. Customers need to choose from the menu, then purchase credits at the sales counter. After that, they must go to the kitchen and give their order list and credits to the kitchen helpers, who will then serve the dishes. Most dishes are pre-cooked, but not in large quantities, so when your dish is served, it is guaranteed to be hot. I ordered two dishes that were delicious and the total cost was only 27 yuan, whereas in most restaurants it would easily be 40 to 60 yuan. The overall experience was good and the temple is definitely worth a visit. If you are looking for affordable and tasty food in Chengdu, along with an impressive temple visit, this restaurant is a great choice.

This impressive temple complex (entrance Y2) features three vegan restaurants. The first one is called the Tea Garden, located to the right after entering from the main gate (not the zoo gate). Customers can purchase teacups filled with hot water from a water cooker for Y5, and enjoy snacks such as seeds and nuts from a small stall within. The main kitchen, located next to the Tea Garden, offers a wide variety of vegan dishes ranging from Y5-25. If the staff does not speak Chinese, customers can request an English menu at the ticket office. After selecting their dishes on a piece of paper, the monk will mark their choices and customers can take it to the main server for their meal. A pink ticket is exchanged with the rice ladies for a bowl of rice when ordering. I tried the aubergine and mushroom dishes and found them to be large and high quality. Additionally, there are women selling warm soft tofu with various toppings at the entrance to the main kitchen. The complex also features a self-serve Buddhist-style noodle soup kitchen. Customers can pay Y3 at the entrance door for a ticket, then pick up a bowl of noodles at the back of the hall and exchange their ticket. After enjoying their meal, customers are encouraged to wash their bowl and chopsticks and return them to the rack. It is a unique and shared dining experience worth trying.

First I wanted to go to the restaurant, but then, when I went through the tempel, I stumbled on five vision hall or vegetarian canteen. I was lucky to be there at 11:45, because they are ready at 12:15. you take 2 bowls and a few buttons and steh in the line. first I thought there were 2 lines because there are 2 windows, but actually the left is where they pay 5 ¥ for a reception and the right is where they exchange the entrance for their meal. they offer various types of sweet and white rice. If they have been in wenshu monestery nunnery, then they will notice that its quite similar, but there they can get a second part free, while here they can not. updated by previous review on 2018-09-02

This great impressive tempel complex (entry y2) includes 3 vegan restaurants. the first is the tee garden to the right when entering from the main gate (not the zoo gate). pick up their teacups (cot tea leaves) for y5, sit down and someone will come to fill their cup with boiling water from a water cooker. snacks like seeds and nuts are available from the small load in the inner. the main kitchen (next to the tee garden) has a large selection of vegan food (about Y5-25). go to the ticket office and ask for the English list if they don't speak / understand Chinese. they get a list of dressed on a piece paper they show about on the monk and he will cross the ones they want for them. (he holds this English list under the glass plate of the table). take the ticket to the main server and they give them to eat it, and the pink ticket goes to the rice ladies for their mifan' (brust rice) when they order one. I had the aubergine and mushroom dishes (both large size and quality). there were also a few women selling dishes of warm soft tofu (to which they can add their selected flavor, etc) at the door to the main kitchen hall. the complex also has a self-bedded Buddhist style suppen kitchen. pay them y3 for their ticket at the entrance door, then go the back of the hall and pick them up their bowls and clink out the rack and exchange them their ticket for their bowl nudelsuppe. when you finish eating (it's delicious) wash your bowl and cripple and put it back on the rack. it is nice to share with this community experience!
